(star)(star)(star)(star)
5:15 p.m., TCM
One of the best-loved cult movies of the ’70s. This buoyant, bizarre anti-establishment romantic comedy matches suicide-intrigued teen rich kid Harold (Bud Cort) with free-spirit septuagenarian and death camp survivor Maude (Ruth Gordon).

“JARHEAD”

9 p.m. MAX
Sam Mendes’ impressionistic adaptation of Anthony Swofford’s Desert Storm memoir is a war movie without combat, as Marine sniper Swoff (a buff Jake Gyllenhaal) waits for the enemy on the ground, burning for a fight that never comes. Mendes is so faithful to the Marine’s frustration that he never puts his own mark on the film.
MPAA rating: R
